Good Grief

Hello everyone. Hope everybody is enjoying their holidays!

So my last personal work was about MGS4. The fact that yesterday I found out that Kojima is returning again on his foot after a certain game company who does not know the meaning of appreciation, acted all snobbish and has a personal grudge for his awesomeness, has given me hope for the years to come. Welcome back Kojima. Keep doing what you do.

But I digress, The artwork attached to this commentary will be the last of 2015...which means, I have to write up my signature with 16 now. Which will soon you guys might see during new years, but no promises. Anyway, I added some little itty bitty reference here and there around the artwork itself. There is also a Star Wars easter egg (With a literally easter egg too!) to commemorate it's premiere which is on the 17th Dec. (Right now my time zone says its the 17th. But I know that the west is still 16. either way, if it shows up 16 then it means, I am commemorating for the new year to come. So win-win)

In any case, the purpose of this artwork is for a competition. The theme is Epic Santa. What is more epic than Santa trying to figure out a problem with one of his toys that he made. Who had done it? What magic occurs in this time of year? Maybe something he can learn? I've already given a clear hint. You figure it out.

And whatever happens, you keep that smile up! Happy holidays!

Cheers

i love this! the detail is amazing. i am working on backgrounds now so this is inspiration. i really enjoy this style.
maybe the toy needs a little love!

TaraGraphika responds:

Thanks, homeboy.

Hope you can get out of the realm of laziness....I sure was when I drew the left side of the pictures. But, oh well, you can only learn your mistakes. To be honest, draw what people can already see, y'know, like everything. Those scrubby little detail can be done later. Focal point first, which takes at least a minute to convey on the canvas.

I'm getting nosy now.
goodbye, and thanks for all the fish.

Those details~!! nice artwork~!

TaraGraphika responds:

Thanks for the fiver! I hope you did enjoy the little itty bitty details:D

Man all those details... It's just an epicness over every epic epicness xd make almost no sense but hope you'll win! very impressive! your sense of importance and how to make something important in your artpiece is very unique and awsome!

TaraGraphika responds:
